The Sixers added Solomon Alabi to their training camp roster.

The center was waived by the Pelicans following training camp last year. He spent the rest of the 2012-13 season in the D-League with Idaho and the Greek League with Ikaros Chalkidas. Sat, Sep 28, 2013 11:54:00 AM

Solomon Alabi set career-highs in points (11), rebounds (19), and minutes (40) in Thursday's blowout win over the Nets.

If you had Alabi in your lineup tonight, stop what you're doing and start picking lottery numbers. Gary Forbes also came off the bench and put up a big number, scoring 23 points with five threes, six boards, and two steals in 41 minutes. Thu, Apr 26, 2012 11:50:00 PM

Raptors second-round C Solomon Alabi, who suffers from Hepatitis B, is not expected to be hampered at all by his illness.

Alabi essentially has an inflammation of the liver, a condition he has lived with since birth. "He has been checked out thoroughly by our doctors," Raptors GM Bryan Colangelo said. Regardless, it's the main reason Alabi dropped to No. 50 overall. If healthy, the Raptors got a steal.

The 76ers may provide an updated timetable in the coming weeks, but Wroten is out for the season and is questionable for the start of the 2015-16 season. Wroten will earn a guaranteed $2.2 million in Philadelphia next year, and if all goes well he could land a lucrative deal in restricted free agency prior to the 2016-17 season. His absence has guaranteed unlimited touches for Michael Carter-Williams, while opening up minutes for guys like JaKarr Sampson, K.J. McDaniels and Jerami Grant.

Robert Covington (elbow) and Jason Richardson (rest) will not play Monday against the Raptors.

The 76ers are going to start Isaiah Canaan, JaKarr Sampson, Luc Mbah a Moute, Nerlens Noel and Henry Sims in a bigger lineup. As for Covington, he has a shot to play Wednesday and his elbow injury doesn't sound severe. That said, his owners will probably want to bench him given how he hasn't played well. To be clear, he should be owned in all leagues. Jerami Grant and Hollis Thompson benefit more than Sampson does for most fantasy owners.

Head coach Brett Brown said it would be misleading to say anything promising about Embiid playing this season.

This all but assures what we already knew, and the 76ers have no reason to risk his health as they continue to rebuild towards the future. Embiid is loaded with potential, but there is no question that he carries a lot of injury risk. Outside of keeper leagues, Embiid can be left on the wire.
